Bengaluru Faces Challenges in Electoral Roll Revision and Digitisation Efforts
Bengaluru is undergoing a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of its electoral rolls, the first since 2002, amid challenges due to the city's demographic and geographic changes. Voters face difficulties tracing records and correcting errors in pre-filled forms. Despite being an IT hub, Bengaluru lags in digitising Enumeration Forms, with only about 34% completed. The Chief Electoral Officer has deployed senior officers to monitor and support digitisation efforts, focusing on several urban Assembly constituencies requiring closer oversight.
